In a joint letter, six members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) have publicly resigned because of Trump’s utter disregard for science and apathy about the field of HIV/AIDS.
Scott A. Schoettes, Lucy Bradley-Springer, Gina Brown, Ulysses W. Burley III, Michelle Ogle, and Grissel Granados said that they’re resigning because the president “simply does not care” about their work or about the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Their letter is devastating to read. Excerpts:
The Trump Administration has no strategy to address the on-going HIV/AIDS epidemic, seeks zero input from experts to formulate HIV policy, and—most concerning—pushes legislation that will harm people living with HIV and halt or reverse important gains made in the fight against this disease. […]
Signs of President Trump’s lack of understanding and concern regarding this important public health issue were apparent when he was a candidate. While Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders both met with HIV advocates during the primaries, candidate Trump refused. Whatever the politics of that decision, Mr. Trump missed an opportunity to learn—from the experts—about the contours of today’s epidemic and the most pressing issues currently affecting people living with HIV.
In keeping with candidate Trump’s lack of regard for this community, President Trump took down the Office of National AIDS Policy website the day he took office and there has been no replacement for this website 132 days into his administration. […]
And we know who the biggest losers will be if states are given the option of eliminating essential health benefits or allowing insurers to charge people with HIV substantially more than others.
It will be people—many of them people of color—across the South and in rural and underserved areas across the country, the regions and communities now at the epicenter of the U.S. HIV/AIDS epidemic.
It will be young gay and bisexual men; it will be women of color; it will be transgender women; it will be low-income people.
It will be people who become newly infected in an uncontrolled epidemic, new cases that could be prevented by appropriate care for those already living with the disease. […]
We hope the members of Congress who have the power to affect healthcare reform will engage with us and other advocates in a way that the Trump Administration apparently will not.
Fucking hell. This is where we are. This is our new reality.
TUMBLR 101: HOW TAGS WORK! (May 2017)
Tags vs. Search
- The tumblr search function will search the tags and captions of all new (i.e. not reblogged) posts that do not contain an external link.
- EXAMPLE: www.tumblr.com/search/perioddramaedit returns posts that mention perioddramaedit, either in the body of the post or in the tags
- The tumblr /tagged/ function returns all the posts in a tag in reverse-chronological order. Popular tags on tumblr may have years worth of posts in them.
- EXAMPLE: www.tumblr.com/tagged/perioddramaedit returns posts tagged perioddramaedit in the first 5 tags.
- Read more about Tags vs Search
The first 5 tags!
- The first 5 tags are your best bet!
- Only the first 5 tags show up in tracked tags. Tracked tags are more reliable than search if you want your content to be seen and / or reblogged.
- Put the important tags (ex. show name, actor name, artist name) in the first 5 tags.
- Only the first 20 tags show up in search.
- Only the first 20 tags will cause the post to show up in the tag on your blog
(i.e. asoiafuniversity.tumblr.com/tagged/resources)- So start with the important tags for tracked tags / search, then add tags like “my edits” or “mine” for your own blog organization, and then add FEELINGS and TAG COMMENTARY at the end.
- Only new posts will show up in public tracked tags or search. Reblogs will not show up in tracked tags or search.
- Avoid unnecessary punctuation. Apostrophes ’ are ok to use, but tags with a slash / or a hyphen - or a plus sign + or an equal sign = will NOT show up in tracked tags.
External Links
- Posts with external links will NOT show up in search.
- See a list of sites that tumblr no longer allows linking.
- Posts with external links WILL show up in tracked tags. So use tracked tags and put the important tags in the first 5 tags!!
Tagging Etiquette
- Don’t tag your hate; it’s considered rude
- If you use anti tags like #ANTI SHIPNAME, everyone who is searching for SHIPNAME will see your anti post. Don’t use SHIPNAME when creating your anti tag if you don’t want people to get upset about it.
- Don’t put something that isn’t an edit in an edit tag. People are going into the edit tag to look for edits and if your post isn’t an edit, it defeats the purpose of the edit tag.
- Don’t spam the tags.
- Reblog; don’t repost
- The OP (original poster) will often read your tags when you reblog a post, so if you say something nasty in the tags, the OP will (probably) see it. Say something nice instead!
